Antibody-sensitized sheep erythrocytes (EA), rabbit erythrocytes, normal human serum (NHS), C5-depleted or C9-depleted human serum, human complement proteins (including C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, and C5b6), and gelatin veronal buffer (GVB) and gelatin veronal buffer with calcium and magnesium (GVB++) were purchased from Complement Technology, Inc. (Tyler, TX, USA). Human C9 protein was conjugated with Alexa Fluor 647 dye using a labeling kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Zilucoplan was prepared internally (UCB Ra Pharmaceuticals, Cambridge, MA, USA). eculizumab biosimilar was purchased from Syd Labs Inc. (Hopkinton, MA, USA). Labeling of eculizumab biosimilar with Alexa Fluor™ 488 NHS Ester (AF488) (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) was conducted using a labeling kit and following the vendor’s protocol (Supplementary Material). Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled dextran (molecular weight approximately 4,000 and 150,000 Da; FITC-dextran 4 kDa and FITC-dextran 150 kDa, respectively) was from Chondrex (Woodinville, WA, USA).
Animal sera used in cross-species activity assay included rat serum (Complement Technology) and sera of baboon, beagle, chimpanzee, cynomolgus monkey, guinea pig, minipig, mouse, pig, rhesus monkey, and rabbit (all from BioIVT, Hicksville, NY, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
